So you’ve decided you want to become an aircraft maintenance engineer. We can help you achieve this goal. The Air NZ Certificate in Aeronautical Engineering is a first year introduction to aeronautical engineering, and a recognised pre-requisite for further training or an apprenticeship. On successful completion of the 36 weeks , you can apply for an apprenticeship or traineeship where you will be paid to complete the remainder of your aircraft tradesman training.

An ideal background is to have successfully completed NCEA Level 2 or 3 in Maths, Physics and English along with a technology subject and a strong interest/ hobby in a Mechanical or Electrical field. The Placement Test consists of an Interview and Written Assessments in English, Maths & Physics.

Applicants who successfully pass the Placement Test are placed on a waitlist. Available student places will be finalised towards the end of the year.
